He's a widow, screwing his way through grief while fending off publicity for the unique side hustle business he founded. She's a young, naïve new real estate agent, desperate to put her ugly past behind her. Neil Jensen is the founder of HandyMan Inc. He makes a point to hire, train, and supervise those at risk of falling through life's cracks. He puts them through a real-life boot camp via hard work landscaping, junk hauling, and other projects. Many of his former employees credit Neil and their time with him for their later success in life. Chloe Layne is a newbie real estate agent with a killer new listing in a prestigious old money Ann Arbor neighborhood. She hires Neil's crew to help out by hauling away some old furniture, and despite all advice to the contrary, discovers herself drawn to the compelling, handsome older man. Neil and Chloe have enough personal baggage between them to stock a small hotel, and yet they've found consolation, and hope for humanity through their unexpected friendship. When life throws yet more obstacles in their way-including a dead body in the kitchen of her new listing-they have to reach deep to find strength to admit that their feelings for each other are too intense to deny.
